Landes is a comfortable jacket all in shaker ribs, knitted from top to bottom without seam. We start with the back then the fronts are raised on the top of the shoulders. The body (back and front) is then worked together. The stitches of the sleeves are picked up and then worked in the round. Pockets can be sewn on at the end.
